This is something I’ve been wanting to do for ages, before we even moved to Hawaii I saw some pictures from this event and was sold!
I love to eat and one of my FAVORITE shows is the Great Food Truck Race. Finally was able to make this happen!
First off, some advice. Get there early, as close to opening as you can. Park at a shuttle stop, no worries about finding a spot. Come hungry and with plenty of cash.
We did a quick sweep of the trucks (there were SO many-spread out over two parking lots!) to get an idea of what was out there and what we wanted to try.
Waffledogs, delicious! Especially drizzled with maple syrup. The kids were VERY skeptical about these but ended up loving them! ($3/each) Next up Xtreme Tacos, smoked chicken taco. It came with two tortillas and I was able to split up the filling. Because there was pico de gallo in it Omar didn’t want to try it and Mckenna didn’t love it. They were good to me though! ($2.75)
Our splurge of the day, wood fired pizza from Kiawe Pizza. So good. ($10) Pop pop donuts ($3.50) Aloha Pops ($3)
And one more dessert to share, Death by Chocolate from Fairy Cakes. I really wanted everything on the menu! Mckenna was eyeballing the Maple Bacon Cake but it was just too weird for her!
We had a great time sampling lots of goodies. I am going to have to branch out and try some things I didn’t get to next time, Fried Musubi, octopus balls and Malasada burgers are calling my name!

Do you have any favorite food trucks or know of any food truck events?
Gah, my friends and I meant to go to this and forgot! We’ll have to catch them next month. And holy cow, malasada burgers?! I’m totally trying that!
There is another one downtown at the end of the month! This time with a Japanese theme!

I Love Eat the Street! The one here in Mililani is actually pretty good (if you haven’t been), and there will be one on March 8th 😉
I do love the one up in Mililani! I think we will be doing chocolate downtown this month and then heading to Mililani next month for bacon!
